Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.
Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Katy
Dryer vent cleaning in Katy typically runs $180-$340 for a standard single-family home, with roof-jack configurations and longer attic runs pushing toward the upper end. We’re familiar with the specific vent layouts in Cinco Ranch, Kelliwood, and Cross Creek Ranch, where 2000s-era homes route dryer exhaust through attics that hit 140°F or higher in summer. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team dispatches from our Houston office and carries the rotary agitation tools and negative-pressure rigs needed for Katy’s roof-termination runs, not just shop vacs. Call (346) 248-1474 for a written price before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning The Woodlands Is Katy’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Katy homeowners since 2013 with one rule: every job gets a written price before a panel comes off and a documented photo record when the crew leaves. That standard applies whether we’re working a 2020 build in Firethorne or a 2003 original in the older sections of Cinco Ranch.
Katy customers receive the same deliverable every time: a written scope, a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1, and before-and-after photos of every duct run. No manager-approval games. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every job.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. The technician who arrives at your door is identified by name before the truck turns onto your street.
We know the local housing stock. Katy’s 2000s master-planned boom produced thousands of homes with identical attic-vent configurations, and we’ve documented enough of them to recognize when a standard cleaning will suffice and when Harvey-era moisture damage or heat-degraded flex calls for replacement instead.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Katy

Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Katy job starts with a camera inspection of the full run, from the dryer connection through the attic to the roof jack or wall cap. In Katy’s roof-jack homes, we run the camera from both directions: up from the wall termination and down from the roofline. The top-down pass alone often misses the worst accumulation sitting below the jack, where lint bakes against the hot attic surface. Our inspection report includes dated photos of every transition, elbow, and termination point, delivered as part of the standard job record.

Vent Cleaning
We clean using rotational agitation tools paired with negative-pressure extraction, not household vacuums. For Katy’s attic runs, we frequently set up at the roof jack and work downward, hanging a Nikro or Rotobrush-powered HEPA vac below the wall termination to pull dislodged material out of the run rather than pushing it deeper. The combination of mechanical agitation and controlled airflow recovers compacted lint that trap-only cleaning never touches.

Lint Removal
Lint removal in Katy homes often means addressing what we call the “roof-jack plug”: a dense, heat-baked accumulation at the attic-to-roof transition. In a 2003 Cinco Ranch home, our tech pulled 1.5 inches of compacted lint from the roof-jack transition on a dryer vent run the homeowner had vacuumed at the trap for years - the lint pathway was clear at the wall but clogged solid where the run climbed through a 146°F attic. Using rotational agitation tools from the roofline down, we hung a shop vac below the wall termination for negative pressure and recovered material the household vac never touched. The dryer’s cycle dropped from 95 minutes to 42, and our camera pass confirmed a clear run to the vent cap.

Vent Rerouting
Some Katy homes, particularly post-Harvey rebuilds in Bear Creek Farms and Canyon Gate, benefit from rerouting a roof-jack termination to a wall cap when the attic run has degraded beyond safe cleaning. We evaluate rerouting on a case-by-case basis and quote it in writing if the inspection shows it’s the better long-term solution.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Katy
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro negative-pressure vacuums, and Honeywell airflow verification tools - brands customers can research independently before agreeing to a price. We stock common vent caps, bird guards, and transition fittings for Katy’s predominant 4-inch rigid and semi-rigid configurations, so most jobs finish without a parts delay. Every tool is cleaned and inspected between jobs under Haven Standard maintenance protocols.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Katy Homes

- The trap-only clean. Homeowners or handymen vacuum the accessible lint at the dryer connection and assume the job is done. The compacted plug in the roof-jack transition above the attic stays put and continues to choke airflow, extending dry times and overheating the element.
- Top-down cleaning without negative pressure. A crew works from the wall termination only, leaving denser lint accumulations in the lower run and the run’s low points untouched because no negative pressure pulls material toward the vacuum. The camera pass afterward shows a clean wall section and a loaded attic section.
- Skipped camera inspection on 2000-2005 era homes. Harvey-era humidity spikes and two decades of attic heat cycles have warped or separated the vent at the roof jack in many Cinco Ranch and Kelliwood properties. A “clean” run still leaks lint into the attic, creating a fire hazard and indoor air quality issue the homeowner can’t see without documentation.
- Heat-degraded flex at the roof jack. Katy’s attic temperatures routinely exceed 140°F in summer, accelerating breakdown of the transition fitting between rigid pipe and roof jack. The inner liner develops micro-tears that collect lint and allow attic air to infiltrate the exhaust stream.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Katy, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Katy runs $180-$260 for a single-story home with a wall termination or short attic run. Homes with roof-jack terminations through a 140°F+ attic, longer runs in two-story builds, or compacted lint requiring extended agitation typically fall in the $260-$340 range. Vent rerouting, bird guard installation, or cap replacement are quoted separately in writing before work begins.
What moves the price: run length, termination type (wall vs. roof), accessibility of the attic portion, and the density of lint accumulation. We do not quote per-vent or per-foot pricing. Every Katy customer receives one flat price per system, agreed in writing under Haven Standard Clause 1, before any work starts.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Katy

Yes. We clean from both ends: rotational agitation from the roof jack downward, with negative-pressure extraction at the wall termination to pull dislodged lint out of the run. A top-only or bottom-only clean misses the heat-baked accumulation at the attic-to-roof transition. Call (346) 248-1474 for a written quote - estimates are free.
It depends on what the camera shows. Our inspection documents whether a run has intact structure with surface debris (cleanable) or moisture-warped, separated, or mold-compromised material that requires replacement for safety and insurance purposes. We deliver that documentation as part of the standard job record so you have evidence for the insurer conversation. Call (346) 248-1474 for a written quote - estimates are free.
Most Katy homes benefit from annual inspection and cleaning every 12-18 months, given the continuous dryer use in a humid climate where lint compacts faster. Homes with multiple loads daily, long roof-jack runs, or older 2000-2005 flex may need cleaning closer to annually. Call (346) 248-1474 for a written quote - estimates are free.
The lint pathway runs from the dryer’s internal filter, through the transition hose, into the wall cavity, up through the attic (in Katy’s typical configuration), and out the roof jack or wall cap. The trap catches perhaps 25% of lint; the remainder travels into the run, where heat and humidity in a 140°F attic compress it into a dense plug that a household vacuum cannot reach or dislodge. Call (346) 248-1474 for a written quote - estimates are free.
Yes. We install Guardsman bird guards and replace damaged or missing vent caps as part of our service or as standalone work, quoted in writing before installation. Katy’s mature trees and bird activity around roof jacks make this a common add-on in Cinco Ranch and Kelliwood homes. Call (346) 248-1474 for a written quote - estimates are free.
